where is all this water supposed to come from?
To: Former MSM Viewer
One gallon equals 0.1336806 cubic feet.

Antarctica has about 7 million cubic miles of ice. That’s 7.7 quintillion gallons.

Good Question for Algore.

I think I’ve done these calculations before, based on what I could find for volume of land ice...and the 6 ft number is true, if it all melts...but alot of libs still live in Florida without fear.

I’m still trying to figure out how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.

I think that a large fraction of the rise is supposeed to come from thermal expansion of seawater.

Taking the exact opposite tack -- people have worked out a fairly simple plan to build a canal from the Mediterranean to the Quattara Depression (in Libya). Any rise in sea level (although, as you point out, any such rise seems unlikely), but any such rise which did occur could be easily sent out into the depression where it would quickly evaporate. Substantial hydro-electric power could be generated as well.
Basically, no sensible person should worry about any rise in sea levels. It ain't gonna happen.

one acre foot equals 325851.428571 gallons. You do the math.

Less than one if you can figure out how to measure it!

Treat the sq miles of the oceans as the area of a circle and then use the volume of cylinder to raise the height of the oceans to any measurement you want.
I did this a few weeks ago. For instance, for the world oceans to rise 6 inches, it would take 216 Greenlands to completely melt.

so apparently every ice cube, frost, snow, and glacier on Earth would have to melt?

Don’t forget, as the oceans rise, even by 1 foot, the 140,000,000 sq miles of oceans will increase.

but, but, but.... what about Algore peeing in the ocean?
Psssst, he is working on that - Global Flooding
He got away with Global Warming, meeeedia are already sharpening their pennnnns and another Nobel is aroud the cornerrrr,

Why bother? If the caps melt, the weight of the water will be spread over the whole ocean (9/10ths of the earth’s surface) instead of the caps. The caps will rebound from the weight removal while the cean floor will be more compressed from the weight addition. End result; no change in the height of the oceans.
PS: The glacial areas are STILL rebounding upwards after the loss of the weight of the last glacier that covered the area.

one gallon = 231 cubic inches
12 x 12 x 12 = 1738 cubic inches in a cubic foot.
1738/231 = 7.4805194805194805194805194805195 gallons cu foot.

Al Gore doesn’t answer questions—because he knows he can’t defend his lying position.
